The following are personal safety tips that should be practiced by everyone to ensure their safety:

Memorize Campus Police’s emergency phone number 956-882-2222.

When you go out, let someone know where you are going and when you plan to be back.

Stay alert to your surroundings and the actions of people around you.

When traveling at night, travel in groups of two or more and always walk in well-lit, heavily traveled areas.

Learn the best routes between your residence hall and your classes and activities. Take the safest route, not the fastest route.

Stay on the part of the sidewalk that is farthest away from shrubs, dark doorways, and alleys.

Try to walk in a confident, relaxed manner. Make brief eye contact when approaching strangers.

Contact Campus Police if you are working or studying late. Ask them to escort you to your car when you leave.

Trust your instincts. If you feel uncomfortable in a place or situation, change directions, go to an emergency phone, into a public building, or call Campus Police.
